“Man fuck these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history,” MC Ren writes on Twitter.

The trailers focus on Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. The trailers also feature Ruthless Records executive and N.W.A manger Jerry Heller, but do not focus on either MC Ren or DJ Yella.
DJ Yella produced N.W.A’s material with Dr. Dre.
MC Ren was one of N.W.A’s main rappers and has been name-dropped in songs by several rappers, including OutKast on “Aquemini.”He also wrote some of Eazy-E’s lyrics.

“When you have bitches work on a hip hop film that don’t know shit about hip hop this is what happens. How the hell u leave me out after all,” MC Ren writes, “The work I put into them records. It’s disrespectful to me, my family and most of all my FANS.”
MC Ren’s posts are as follows, as are photos of the vinyl of N.W.A’s Straight Outta Compton and Eazy-E’s Eazy-Duz-It albums, which highlight MC Ren’s writing credits as a member of N.W.A and for Eazy-E:
